And given all those major releases, I was wondering how successful they have been among the FujiRumors community.
That’s why today I will launch an updated survey where you can tell us which camera you own.
Let’s see if there was a breakthrough in terms of 5th generation gear here on FujiRumors or if many of you did not update to the latest and greatest and stick with their older gear.
Important Note: If you pre-ordered any of the gear listed below and just wait to get it shipped, you qualify as owner.
Well, it looks like this combination will become real soon.
In fact, today we can finally tell you what many of you already saw coming: the Fujifilm X-S20 will use the X-Processor 5.
And in addition to that, our trusted sources (thanks!!!) told us that the Fujifilm X-S20 will be able to record 6K/30p and 4K/60p video.
We remind you that the Fujifilm X-S10 with the very same sensor can shoot 4K/30p max.
It looks like the combination between efficient and powerful X Processor 5 and fast sensor readout of 26MP X-Trans IV, is making it possible to put 6K/30p and 4K/60P into the small camera body of the Fujifilm X-S20, without having serious overheating issues that would make such a feature impracticable.
Considering the hybrid nature of this camera, 6K/30p and 4K/60p are a very welcome feature.
April was a month rich on rumors (shared exclusively for you here on FujiRumors) and firmware updates that you should definitely not miss. This is why this months’ top 10 article is particularly important.
There is only one non-rumor and non-firmware article that made it in the top ten, and it covers a wonderful software for Fujifilm X-Trans files: DxO PureRAW 3 and DxO DeepPRIME XD. Personally I also own DxO PhotoLab 6.4.
In addition to the usual top 10 articles, we will also introduce a new section with the top 5 FR YouTube videos of the month.
Fujifilm has released firmware updates for plenty of lenses that will make the autofocus more silent, the aperture operate smoother and also give better tracking performance while zooming.
That’s a very nice upgrade especially for video shooters.
Not all lenses will get all these three updates. You can find the full detailed list below.
I’m very impressed by the mechanics and reliable design of electronics in this Voigtlander 23mm F1.2 Nokton lens. The precise way focusing distance information is collected is one of huge benefits of true manual focusing Voigtlander lens comparing to focus-by-wire most Fujinon lens. All parts are made from metal and precisely machined up to highest Cosina quality standards similar to Leica M mount lenses.

And more precisely, let’s share the probably most important rumor I can share about it: the sensor it will have.
According to trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-S20 will feature the 26MP BSI X-Trans IV sensor, so exactly the same sensor we currently have on the Fujifilm X-T4, X-T3, X-S10 and many other Fujifilm cameras.
As an owner of the 40MP Fujifilm X-T5 sensor, my personal wish would be to see that sensor in as many future Fujifilm X series cameras as possible, but I am well aware that many of you consider the combo 26MP + X-Processor 5 to be the best option for the Fujifilm X-S20.
So, there are Pros and Cons in the choice Fujifilm made, which makes me definitely curious to see what the Fujifilm X-S20 will be able to deliver by using this combo.
NOTE: I don’t have rumors about the processor on the Fujifilm X-S20, but I assume it will use the X-Processor 5.
